The invention relates to the field of the protection of structures such as
terrestrial buildings, vehicles or else ships, against attacks operated
by means of hollow charges. It applies in particular to the protection of
armoured vehicles.The subject of the invention is a module for embodying
a lightweight and mobile reactive armour comprising at least one
electrically conducting external wall and one electrically conducting
internal wall and forming two electrodes between which is applied a very
high voltage, the said walls defining an inter-electrode space, as well
as an electrically conducting internal tridimensional mechanical
structure, of low density, in electrical contact with the internal
wall.The module according to the invention is intended to be placed
between the object to be protected and the hollow charge, the internal
tridimensional mechanical structure being positioned between the
electrodes and the object to be protected.The module according to the
invention makes it possible to increase the effectiveness the destruction
of the jet by lengthening the destruction by fusion and vaporization
during the traversal of the internal tridimensional mechanical structure.
